Caesar Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches Recipes

CAESAR PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F Salt and pepper tenderloin.
• Combine mayonnaise, anchovy paste, lemon juice and garlic. On a plate, combine crushed crouton crumbs and parmesan cheese. Spread the mayonnaise mixture completely over the tenderloin and then roll in the crumb/cheese mixture to coat. Place on a flat baking sheet.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes or until tenderloin is medium well done (slightly pink in the center). Cut into 1/4 inch thick slices to serve.
• Note: You can use a knife to spread the mayonnaise mixture on the tenderloin but I always use my hands to get it all over the place. It's messy but it seems to pay off. This is what those disposable gloves are for.
• When I buy my pork tenderloin there are usually two in the package.
• You find the anchovy paste in a tube like toothpaste near the tuna in the grocery store.
• Put the croutons in a zip top plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them. It keeps them together and works great. You can add the parmesan cheese to this and mix it together well before you put the mixture on the plate.

Finally, turn cutlets in the bread crumb mixture, pressing down until completely coated. Transfer to a plate and let dry for at least 5 minutes.
• Heat oil over medium heat in a 12-inch skillet to between 350 to 375 degrees F (175 to 190 degrees C). Place a couple of breaded cutlets in the skillet, making sure not to crowd, and fry on each side for about 3 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally until cutlets are deep golden brown and crisp. Transfer the cutlets to a wire rack to drain any excess oil. Repeat the procedure with the remaining cutlets.
